GE 3% Cashback - Statements

JMcC

Along with others, I am delighted with the GE 3% cash back card (long may it continue). However the lack of on line access to the account is the down side.
I used the card abroad during the last month and am keen to make sure there are no dodgy transactions.
Although the statements are issued on the 17th, I still dont have one. Not a major issue, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had the October statement yet.
PS, I have had 3% cash back on all spend for the past 3 months, so also wondering what will happen with spend in euro's.

Not had mine yet.

Thanks Cagey.
I've been looking at this site for a few months now and have only just registered, so happy to get a response to what is my very first post.

FWIW a post in another thread suggests that they are working on it.

Not had mine either, but another post seems to indicate that they arrive on the 25th - so maybe tomorrow then.

I haven't had mine either.

The online access was meant to be going 'live' in October but I haven't heard anything as yet.

There is an 0870 number on the back of the card. If you phone that, give your card number to the automated system, along with your date of birth (in DDMMYY format) then the last 3 digits of your telephone number, it will give you your current balance and recent transactions etc.

I know it's an 0870 but you can do it quite quickly and as it's automated - you don't have to wait 20 minutes to speak to an adviser.

Yep, I'm really pleased with my card too - I also seem to have had 3% on all purchases so far (3months). No statement for Oct yet, waiting for the postie! It'll be interesting to see if the 3% has carried on into my 4th month. Online will be a nice addition, looking forward to it. One downside - I now fill both cars up with diesel, and do the sainsbury's shop! Could apply for second card, but the boss is happy with her current Morgan Stanley cashback (cos it's black?)...

Edit: Statement arrived, as Stompa says below, 3% on everything... well chuffed! Even house insurance and PC components valid for cash back!!!

Statement arrived this morning, 3% on everything again.

JMcC

Marvellous. Hopefully my statement is waiting for me.

The 3% is really terrific. Even if it was only on Petrol and Groceries, but it still sounds to be on all spend. Wonder how long it will last.

One thing to note is that the 3% is capped at £5000, then I believe it drops to 0.5%. I don't normally spend this much on a card in a year, but have been using my card rather than cash recently to maximise cashback.

Thanks again for your replies.

I suspect not very long, I don't see how they could possibly afford to sustain it.

I too recieved my GE money card statement today, and got 3% on all purchases.
Good game this, I buy groceries at tesco with my GE card (-3%),present my tesco club card (-1%), fill up car at tesco garage on way home, useing my 5p per litre off voucher (oh you work that one out) and again present my club card(1%).
Smug:D

Good news again. 3% on everything, including spend in euros.
I have not been charged anything for using the card abroad and the exchange rate looks good. I actually got a slightly better rate on the card than I got from travelex for cash (and that was the best rate I could find).
